Deadlines

The committee is composed of tenured faculty and must include at least a 25% female
and/or minority representation. Three members of the College P&T Committee are elected
by their peers for terms of three years.The Dean will appoint the fourth member and
will also appoint as fifth member a departmentally-approved alternate from an academic
unit not represented on the committee. Elected members may not serve consecutive terms,
members cannot serve if being considered for promotion, and no member can serve on
more than one P&T committee.

The College P&T Committee is charged with reviewing all submitted materials, providing
any required materials, conducting a fair, objective, independent, and substantive
review of the candidate's dossier based on department, college, and University criteria
and standards and make recommendations regarding retention, tenure or promotion. The
recommendation shall include a written rationale. If the intermediate review committee's
recommendation does not concur with those of the primary review committee or the primary
administrative reviewer, the committee's rationale must explain the point(s) of difference.

The intermediate review committee is also responsible for:

Reviewing, making suggestions for modification, and approving the role and scope,
criteria and standards documents of the departments,

Conducting the election for faculty representatives to the college and UPT Committees,
and

Preparing a written recommendation, with vote tally, concerning the retention, tenure,
and/or promotion of each candidate for review.
